A quick definition of survivors benefits:

Survivors benefits are money given to the family of someone who has died and paid into Social Security. This money helps the surviving spouse, children, and dependent parents. The amount of money depends on how much the deceased person earned during their lifetime. To get this money, the family needs to apply to the Social Security Administration.

A more thorough explanation:

Survivors benefits are a type of financial assistance provided by the Social Security Administration to the surviving spouse and dependents of a deceased worker who was eligible for Social Security benefits. This benefit is paid out in the form of a sum of money.

The beneficiaries of survivors benefits include widows, widowers, children, and dependent parents. The amount of the benefit is determined by the average lifetime earnings of the deceased worker and a portion of the taxes paid by the worker to the Social Security Administration is used to fund the benefit.

For example, if a worker who was eligible for Social Security benefits passes away, their spouse and children may be eligible to receive survivors benefits. The amount of the benefit will depend on the worker's average lifetime earnings.

In order to receive survivors benefits, an application must be submitted to the Social Security Administration. The SSA Survivors Benefits page provides additional information on how to apply for this benefit.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
